The Experience

Before You Go

Wear long pants and closed-toe shoes

Pants prevent harness chafing and closed shoes keep your feet secure on platforms and muddy trails.

Bring a refillable water bottle

Six to seven hours in humidity and activity means you’ll need to sip frequently; guides may have limited water available.

Declare medical conditions at booking

Not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with heart or significant back issues—staff need this information to ensure safety.

Carry small local cash

Cash is handy for tips, souvenirs, or extra snacks at the cliff-top stop where card options may be limited.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Dennery Fish Fry and evening market for local seafood and music
  • A quiet cliff-top viewpoint near the final stop for unobstructed sunset lines over the Atlantic

Wildlife

  • hummingbirds
  • green anoles (small lizards)

Conservation Note

The rainforest canopy and waterfall pools are sensitive—stick to trails, use reef-safe sunscreen, and heed guides to minimize erosion and disturbance.

Dennery developed as an east-coast fishing and coconut-trading village; many roads on the island follow routes used in the colonial plantation era.
